Metallica rummer and co-founder Lars Ulrich says, “About 12 seconds into the opening night of Sphere with U2 back in ‘23, I thought, We have to do this, it’s completely uncharted territory! This residency gives us another chance to reinvent how we interact with our fans in a live setting. We are beyond excited to share this with the world in six months time, and way fuckin’ psyched to go next level!"In booking a residency at Sphere, the quartet are following in the footsteps of U2, Dead & Company, No Doubt, Eagles, and Phish, among others.
